Trump’s CNN town hall was a mess of lies – and it was utterly predictable

theguardian.com/media/2023/may/10/donald-trump-cnn-town-hall-media-analysis

May 11, 2023

Analysis

Adam Gabbatt in New York

Neither CNN nor its host was able to take control as the ex-president played steamroller, to the audience’s delight

It began and ended in a way that absolutely everyone could have predicted.

Appearing at a CNN town hall, Donald Trump immediately launched into a series of debunked, nonsense claims about election fraud, speaking nearly non-stop for more than five minutes.

Trump steamrolled over attempted interruptions from Kaitlan Collins, the CNN interviewer, as the town hall immediately turned into what many had feared: an opportunity for Trump to lie about dozens of topics, almost completely unfettered, across 60 minutes of primetime television.

From 8pm to just after 9pm, there was never a moment when CNN or Collins had any semblance of control. Trump lied about election fraud and about the January 6 insurrection. He obfuscated on trade tariffs and the aims of abortion advocates, and claimed, wrongly, that he had “finished” the wall.

At one particularly revolting point, Trump mocked E Jean Carroll, the columnist whom a New York jury found he sexually assaulted in a department store.

Trump repeats conspiracy theories and election lies in CNN town hall

“CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York congresswoman, tweeted 20 minutes into the debacle.

“They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim.

“The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.”

According to CNN, the audience in Manchester, New Hampshire, was made up of “New Hampshire Republicans and undeclared voters”, but in reality the crowd might as well have been scooped up from a Trump campaign rally.

They laughed, whooped and applauded as Trump dished out a stream of his greatest hits.

Whoever had vetted the crowd must have winced as a series of people – almost all white, mostly male – stood up to lob softball questions at the former president about immigration, the economy, about how “state governments and the federal government are going to act to repress gun rights” and whether he would pardon the hundreds of people convicted of crimes on January 6.

Thrust by CNN into Trump’s signature cascade of nonsense, Collins was repeatedly overrun.

In the face of so many lies, it seemed difficult for Collins to know which one to factcheck, and Trump was allowed to present his alternative version of the universe, including on the aims of people attempting to protect a woman’s right to abortion.

“‘You could kill the baby at 9 months or after it was born,’” Clara Jeffery, the editor of Mother Jones magazine, tweeted, quoting a false claim by Trump that Democrats wanted abortion to be legal up until, and apparently after, birth.

“Goes unchallenged. This [is] a journalistic abomination.”

“Goes unchallenged. This [is] a journalistic abomination.”

The decision to give a platform to Trump, a man who has something of a track record for lying, was widely criticized before the event. Angelo Carusone, chief executive of Media Matters for America, a progressive watchdog, described the town hall as a “transparent attempt to goose their ratings”, while Keith Olbermann, a former MSNBC host, criticized Chris Licht, who took over from Jeff Zucker as chief executive of CNN in 2022.

“I think we can say Chris Licht’s conversion of CNN into a political and journalistic whorehouse is complete,” Olbermann had said.

The looming town hall had led to an incongruous viewing experience throughout Wednesday, particularly in light of a legal finding that Trump sexually abused Carroll in 1996.

On Wednesday morning, Carroll, who the New York jury found was sexually abused in a New York department store changing room 27 years ago, was interviewed by CNN.

The network aired clips of the interview throughout the day, with a chyron hovering over the footage promoting Trump’s town hall appearance.

On Tuesday, CNN had run a story about Liz Cheney, a former Republican congresswoman and critic of Trump.

“New Liz Cheney ad: Trump ‘Aarisk America can never take again,’” read the CNN chyron. Right there, on the corner of the screen, was a promotion for the Trump town hall.

There had been clues, too, about the direction of the town hall in the hour before it began. In handing airtime to Trump, CNN apparently felt it had to host some of the former president’s acolytes, perhaps in the interest of balance.

That led to Wolf Blitzer, a CNN veteran, bringing on JD Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio who has dabbled in the racist “great replacement” conspiracy theory.

Asked what Trump needed to do to win undecided voters, Vance said, with a straight face: “Trump has the ability to appeal across the aisles.”

CNN

>>18828260

Blitzer then turned the discussion to Trump having been found to have sexually abused Carroll. It gave Vance an on-air opportunity to attack the case as a “he said-she said situation” that has “nothing to do with the future of this country”.

Trump town hall live: ex-president repeats election lies and denies sexual abuse verdict to mostly Republican crowd – as it happened

“So ahead of Trump’s appearance on CNN, we get to watch JD Vance – a man who has pushed conspiracy theories and the white supremacist ‘Great Replacement’ – come on live and do a friendly, pre-game chat,” said Mehdi Hasan, who hosts a show on MSNBC.

“The normalization of extremism and conspiracism continues.”

As the town hall dwindled to a close on Wednesday, things didn’t get any better. At one point, Trump called Collins a “nasty woman” as she attempted to ask Trump a question. The audience laughed.

Trump also referenced New York’s Chinatown – “where they don’t even speak English” – and brought up “impeachment hoax No 1”, to cheers from the crowd.

Behind the scenes, CNN staff were apparently horrified. Justin Baragona, a media reporter for the Daily Beast, tweeted: “Immediate reaction from a CNN on-air personality to me just now on this Trump town hall: ‘It is so bad. I was cautiously optimistic despite the criticism. It is awful. It’s a Trump infomercial. We’re going to get crushed.’”

When the town hall ended and the camera cut to the CNN studio, the panel of pundits seemed dumbstruck.

“We don’t have enough time to factcheck every lie he told,” said Jake Tapper, a senior CNN host.

“I want to be very clear: what we saw tonight was outrageous,” said Laura Coates, a legal analyst.

The CNN correspondent Jamie Gangel might have put it best.

“People are appalled by what they saw tonight,” she said.

It was hard to disagree.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting the Guardian’s journalism.

From Elon Musk to Rupert Murdoch, a small number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the information that reaches the public about what’s happening in the world. The Guardian is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest – not profit motives.

And we avoid the trap that befalls much US media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality. While fairness guides everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against racism and for reproductive justice. When we report on issues like the climate crisis, we’re not afraid to name who is responsible. And as a global news organization, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on US politics – one so often missing from the insular American media bubble.

Around the world, readers can access the Guardian’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. That’s because of people like you. Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news, or not.

If you can, please consider supporting the Guardian today. Thank you.

Trump Was Awful. CNN Was Worse.

Cable News Kills

Kaitlan Collins and the network’s journalists tried their best. But the execs, from Chris Licht on down, brought total shame on themselves, journalism, and America.

Here’s what Chris Licht said the day he took over at CNN: “Sadly, too many people have lost trust in the news media. I think we can be a beacon in regaining that trust by being an organization that exemplifies the best characteristics in journalism: fearlessly speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo, questioning ‘group-think’, and educating viewers and readers with straightforward facts and insightful commentary, while always being respectful of differing viewpoints.

First and foremost, we should, and we will be advocates for truth.”

Well, I hope today some of his more alert employees are reminding him of those noble words because the Donald Trump “town hall” was an absolute fiasco for journalism and democracy; quite plainly the worst non-Fox night of cable news in recent memory. This was a grotesque scramble for ratings and cash, a naked bid by CNN to get some of that flagging post-Tucker Fox News audience that’s out there up for grabs. “Newsmax?!

OANN?! Who are these pipsqueaks,” Licht obviously sits around his office wondering as he conceives of some way for mighty CNN to get a slice of that juicy pie.

People make mistakes and miscalculations in this world, all the time. But this isn’t one of those times. Licht and CNN knew precisely what they were doing. Cable news critics started to see signs of CNN’s rightward shift last fall

—the departures of John Harwood and Brian Stelter serving as a distant early warning. Licht was reportedly behind the canning of Harwood, a terrific journalist with years of experience at The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Harwood was no liberal polemicist. He was a reality-based journalist. That he couldn’t pass muster with Licht should have been, and was a tip-off. Licht went on a “listening tour,” promising advertisers that his CNN would hear both sides. And it was well after January 6 that Licht had this brainstorm.

This town hall, then, was no miscalculation. CNN execs did not err by filling that audience with a bunch of MAGA shills who tittered at the idea of the former president committing an act of sexual abuse. They knew exactly what they were doing. As Warner Brothers/Discover CEO David Zaslav, who’s no less responsible for this disaster than Licht, said last week, they want those disaffected Fox viewers who question that network’s total commitment to Trump, the sort who were up in arms when Fox called Arizona (prematurely but correctly) for Joe Biden: “We’re happy he’s coming on there…This is a new CNN. I’m proud of CNN, we’re on a great journey and this country needs it.”

Some of CNN’s journalists did the best they could. Kaitlan Collins made a heroic effort to keep up with Trump’s firehose of deceit and treachery. When CNN cut away from the town hall

—and to my real-time eye, it looks like CNN ended it 20 minutes early; it was scheduled to last until 9:30 and CNN instead tossed to the studio talking heads at 9:10

—anchors Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper were quick to note that Trump opened the night by lying about the 2020 election, and they and others like John King and Jamie Gangel, and Laura Coates tried to fact-check and rebut Trump.

A: no its not. We still have a ways to go

Is that Proto verification shit only for daytime?

>>18828272

So, good for them. But it was largely too late. Licht got his licks in. America saw a barrage of lies that rained down like bombs on Dresden. I started out trying to keep track of them, but as is usually the case with Trump, you’ll have a far easier job of it keeping track of the true things he says, because that’s a breeze. (The true statements, after “my name is Donald Trump,” were roughly zero.)

He lied about 2020. He lied about January 6. He lied about E. Jean Carroll. He lied about abortion. He lied about his classified documents. He lied about energy independence

—the United States did achieve “energy independence” during his presidency, but as these things are measured, it’s energy independent today

—more so under Biden than under him! That’s a comparatively small lie, but it proves the point. He lied about everything. He can’t do anything other than lie. Lying is how he has lived for decades.

Were there any redeeming qualities in the exercise? We did get a bit of insight into his planned attack lines. On the classified documents: Joe Biden took 1,800 boxes. I don’t know if this is true off the top of my head, but it’s plausible

—vice presidents accumulate a lot of boxes. Then he said

—four times!—that Biden took boxes to “Chinatown.” What on earth does this mean?

Ex-vice president Biden stored some boxes in Washington DC’s Chinatown neighborhood. Oh my God, Chinatown! A neighborhood crawling with…Chinese…stuff!

(Though to be honest, Washington’s present-day Chinatown is a pale version of its heyday.) What a racist buffoon, playing to other racist buffoons.

Trump was awful at this town hall. But CNN was worse. Not its journalists

—they tried. Rather, it was the network’s ostensible leadership who failed to demonstrate that they are responsible stewards of the public trust. Though whoever made the decision to pull the plug on this vomit 20 minutes early perhaps should be in line for a promotion, if only because they brought this embarrassing night for CNN, journalism, and America to a halt. And yet somewhere, Licht and Zaslav are probably smiling.

Despite her best efforts, moderator Kaitlan Collins could not “fact-check a lie machine,” in one CNN star’s words. It was a predictable shit show.

“That’s not true, Mr. President, and you know that.”—CNN Donald Trump town hall moderator Kaitlan Collins.

“You are a nasty person.”—Trump to Collins, later.

It was worse than my worst nightmares.

CNN made a terrible, ratings-driven decision to host a New Hampshire town hall with disgraced former president Donald Trump Wednesday night—one day, as it happened, after he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Even worse: choosing to do it in front of an audience of New Hampshire Republicans.

I have to assume that was a Trump condition for doing the event. If it wasn’t, everyone connected with that decision should be fired. But almost certainly won’t be.

Trump got a standing f’ing ovation when he came out, as well as at the end of the nightmarish political stunt. The town hall’s moderator, CNN’s 31-year-old rising star Kaitlan Collins, tried repeatedly to push back on Trump’s many, many lies, but he talked over and mocked her for all 60-something minutes. The Trump-besotted crowd regularly served as a laugh track for Trump’s lies and his insults. It was nauseating.

Collins was best on Trump’s voter fraud lies.

Collins was best on Trump’s voter fraud lies.

“Mr. President, there weren’t any fraudulent votes in Wisconsin,” she said at one point, as he tried to drown her out. Later: “There was no rigged election in the state of Georgia.” “The election was not rigged, Mr. President, you cannot be saying this all night long,” Collins insisted.

But he did.

Unforgivably, though, Collins allowed Trump to repeatedly claim, on abortion, that Democrats are in favor of abortion even after babies are born, “ripped out of the womb,” and stuck doggedly to her comparatively procedural questions about at which week of pregnancy he would support an abortion ban. She also clung to a relatively bloodless line of questioning about his deadly, racist immigration policies, merely hammering away (accurately) that he only constructed 52 feet of his border wall. In response, he lied more. There was nothing she could do.

Dressed intentionally or not in suffragist white, Collins became just another woman (verbally) assaulted by Trump. Great job, CNN CEO Chris Licht. Women across America salute you.

Although it was a bloodbath for CNN management, the grotesque spectacle provides thousands of clips for Democratic ads. Trump said he was “honored” to be “able to terminate Roe vs. Wade” (that’s not technically what happened, but whatever). He said he was “inclined to pardon many” of the violent January 6 rioters, saying “many of them are great people” (just like the Charlottesville, Va., neo-Nazis). He called the Capitol Police officer who shot insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt, as she climbed through a window to assault House of Representative members, a “thug” (yes, the officer is Black).

On Wednesday, some Trump advisors were hand-wringing that he was “walking into a complete ambush,” given the verdict in E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuit. But Trump’s people almost certainly negotiated the audience composition, and so no ambush occurred.

The CNN lead-in to the town hall featured a diverse panel of three Republicans—Hogan Gidley, former short-term Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown, and (anti-Trump) GOP pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson—plus Democrat Karen Finney. It was a disgrace. I have to admit, the panel that gathered after the embarrassment, along with anchors Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper, seemed mostly horrified by what they saw. Like the rest of us.

But on that same panel, the network also let one of Trump’s few Black congressional supporters, Byron Donalds, throw verbal punches at Collins. Cooper tried to fact-check Donalds too, but Donalds has learned from The Donald to talk over everyone, and it mostly worked.

Once again, Trump took the opportunity to defame E. Jean Carroll, who just won the defamation suit against him. He said again that he doesn’t know who she is, yet he volunteered “her dog, or her cat, was named Vagina” (digression: Trump has never had any kind of pet). The crowd cheered his mockery of Carroll. I kept wondering, as I did earlier: Can Carroll sue CNN for defamation? Fox settled a defamation suit with Dominion Voting Systems, after it was proven it showcased Trump acolytes it knew were lying; CNN did the same.

I don’t think CNN’s bad decision here was at the same level of awful as Fox’s repeated support for Trump’s election fraud lies, after Joe Biden was declared the president-elect and ever since. But it was pretty awful. The network defended it by saying he’s currently the GOP front-runner. We’ll all have to grapple with that fact, in terms of our Trump coverage, in the year to come.

But CNN led the way in normalizing the twice-impeached, once-indicted, civilly found liable for sexual assault and defamation, coup-fomenting former president. Let’s watch what happens next.

The CNN Town Hall With Former President Trump Is a Chaotic Event

adweek.com/tvnewser/the-cnn-town-hall-with-former-president-trump-is-a-chaotic-event/530392

A.J. Katzon May. 10, 2023 - 10:32 PM

CNN’s Republican Presidential Town Hall with Donald Trump was an intense event. The former president took questions from CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins and a live audience of New Hampshire Republican and undeclared voters on Wednesday evening.

To be frank, a lot it was difficult to watch. Collins took one for the team and tried her best to correct the record as often she could. Focusing the candidate’s attention on the subject of the moment was a tough task.

Perhaps that’s why what was scheduled to be a 90-minute broadcast instead ended at around 9:15 p.m. ET. It was getting too much.

The former commander in chief again refused to acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election, instead repeating false claims that the election was somehow rigged against him.

Collins pressed him, asking directly if he would publicly acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election. Collins pointed out that the election wasn’t rigged, and pointed to statements by Trump’s own election officials noting the election was conducted fairly.

Didn’t matter.

“They found millions of votes on camera, on government cameras, where they were stuffing ballot boxes. So with all of that, I think it’s a shame what happened. I think it’s a very sad thing for our country. I think it’s a very sad thing, frankly, for the world, because if you look at what’s gotten to our country, our country has gone to hell,” Trump said, continuing on to criticize the Biden administration.

In one of the more depressing portions of the town hall, Trump said he does not think a recent verdict in which a Manhattan federal jury found that he was liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a luxury department store dressing room in the spring of 1996 disqualifies him from being president or will have an impact on women voters.

The federal jury awarded Carroll $5 million for battery and defamation.

“A Manhattan jury found you sexually abused writer E. Jean You’ve denied this. But what do you say to voters who say it disqualifies you from being president?” asked Collins.

1/2

>>18828300

Trump answered that he didn’t think there were many voters who would think that. He bizarrely claimed that the case was made up and that the whole ordeal was politically motivated. He repeated that he did not know Carroll, but said that he took a photo “years ago” with her and her husband.

“This woman, I don’t know her. I never met her. I have no idea who she is,” Trump said.

When asked if the jury’s decision would deter women from voting for him, the former president said, “No, I don’t think so.”

Trump later justified comments he made on Access Hollywood tape about how famous people could grab women by the p***y, and said he won’t take those comments back.

The tape came up in Trump’s tape deposition as part of the civil case with Carroll.

“I said women let you, I didn’t say you grab… I said women let — you know, you didn’t use that word — but if you look, women let you,” Trump said. “Now, they said will you take that back? I said, look, for a million years this is the way it’s been. I want to be honest this is the way it’s been,” he added.

“You would like me to take that back. I can’t take it back because it happens to be true,” Trump added.

Staying on the theme of Trump’s “complicated” relationship with the opposite sex, he at one point lost it on the CNN moderator during an exchange about the classified documents case, calling her a “NASTY person!”

Trump: All of a sudden, they raided my house. They didn’t raid the house of Joe Biden. They didn’t raid Obama.

Collins: Joe Biden didn’t ignore a subpoena to get those documents back like you did (crosstalk) But that’s the question that investigators have, I think, is why you held on to those documents when you knew the federal government was seeking them and then had given you a subpoena to return them.

Trump: Are you ready? Are you ready? Can I talk?

Collins: Yeah. What’s the answer?

Trump: Can, do you mind?

Collins: I would like for you to answer the question

Trump: It’s very simple to answer.

Collins: That’s why I asked it.

Trump: It’s very simple to… You’re a nasty person! I’ll tell you.

The audience then proceeded to laugh and applaud.

Collins: Can you answer why? Why you held on to the documents?

“You’re so wrong you don’t know the subject!” Trump yelled at Collins moments later. “I do know the subject,” Collins replied.

Later in the town hall, Trump also didn’t say whether he wants Russia or Ukraine to win their war.

“I don’t think in terms of winning and losing. I think in terms of getting it settled so we stop killing all these people,” he said.

When asked by Collins for a second time whether or not the former president wants Ukraine to win, Trump still would not answer directly, instead saying that he wants “everybody to stop dying.”

“Russians and Ukrainians, I want them to stop dying,” he said, going so far as to add, “And I’ll have that done in 24 hours.”

Trump allies seemed satisfied with how the event went. Other industry figures, however, including Collins’ CNN colleague Jake Tapper, didn’t enjoy the experience quite as much. Tapper didn’t criticize his employer, instead criticizing the candidate and defended his colleague:

Jake Tapper sums up Trump’s town hall: “He called a black law enforcement officer a thug. He said people here in Washington, D.C. and Chinatown don’t speak English. He attacked Kaitlan as a nasty woman… he made fun of [Carrol’s] sexual assault and many in the audience laughed.” pic.twitter.com/NSzVzVEApP

Trump calls for US debt default

The former president said the government is spending money like “drunken sailors”

Former US President Donald Trump said Republicans should allow the federal government to default on its $31-trillion debt if Democrats don’t agree to “massive” spending cuts, urging the GOP to take a harder line in negotiations to raise the debt ceiling.

Speaking at a town hall event hosted by CNN on Wednesday night, Trump was asked how lawmakers should address the looming debt crisis, as the two major parties struggle to reach a deal on the federal borrowing limit, which currently sits at $31.4 trillion.

“I say to the Republicans out there, congressmen, senators, if they don’t give you massive cuts, you’re gonna have to do a default,” Trump said, adding that he believes “the Democrats will absolutely cave” before they allow that to happen.

Trump went on to slam the government for “spending money like drunken sailors” and urged officials to slash budgets and reduce the debt, warning that “our country is being destroyed by stupid people.”

When host Kaitlan Collins pressed the ex-leader on his previous opposition to using the debt ceiling as a “negotiating wedge,” Trump simply replied: “That’s when I was president.” Asked why his position had changed, he said, “because now I’m not president,” drawing laughs from the CNN audience.

A default on America’s debt would mean the government is unable to meet its outstanding obligations, including welfare payouts, interest on the existing debt and even paychecks for military service members. According to the Congressional Budget Office, federal spending currently exceeds revenues by around $1.4 trillion, a deficit that will have to be covered by borrowing.

Time is running out for Congress and the White House, however, as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that the government may be unable to pay its bills as soon as next month should lawmakers fail to strike a deal to raise the debt limit.

Russian Court Seizes Control of Four Tugs Owned by Maersk’s Svitzer

Published May 10, 2023 1:43 PM by The Maritime Executive

A Russian arbitration court in late April seized control of four tugs owned by Maersk’s Svitzer towage company and operating under a long-term contract to provide services at the Sakhalin-II oil and gas project in eastern Russia. Maersk had been seeking to end the services since the company announced plans two years ago to withdraw all operations from Russia in protest over the invasion of Ukraine.

Svitzer built four Robert Allan designed heavy-duty ice-class tugs in 2007 which were operating under charter to a Russian subsidiary Svitzer Sakhalin which in turn had an agreement with the operators of the oil and gas project to provide marine services. The contract was extended in early 2020 going into effect in November 2020 and running for an additional 10 years. At the time, Svitzer said it supported the mooring of more than 1,800 gas carriers with the four tugs and two mooring boats. Svitzer said it had 58 Russian crewmembers and nine onshore staff.

The Russian government took control of the Sakhalin-II project in August 2022 from the operating company that had been formed by Gazprom in partnership with minority investors Shell, Mitsui, and Mitsubishi. Svitzer’s service contract was transferred to the new Russian operator of the oil and gas project.

According to Russian media reports, Svitzer announced plans to transfer the four tugs out of Russia and re-registered them away from the Russian flag with Svitzer Sakhalin attempting to invoke a force majeure on April 17 to suspend the service contract. The Russian operator of the oil and gas project took Svitzer to court arguing that the loss of the four tugs could jeopardize production activities at the facilities.

Russian media outlet Kommersant reports on April 24 the court temporarily arrested the four tugs and gave control of them to a third-party company. They granted the right to continue to operate the tugs in Prigorodnoye. The stories indicate that Svitzer has the right to file an appeal till May 18 seeking to regain control of the tugs and end the service contract.

In a brief statement, Maersk said “We believe the situation regarding the tugs is untenable and efforts to resolve the matter are ongoing.” Maersk reports that all of Svitzer’s employees in Russia have resigned.

The tugs were one of Maersk’s final assets in Russia. In 2020, the company took a more than $700 million write-down on its Russian assets. It sold its interest in a terminal operator and its cold storage warehouse in Saint Petersburg and inland terminal in Novorossiysk. They had indicated that they were also looking to sell the four tugboats.
